We are also a part of a Program called Educational First Step. We are working with EFS on becoming nationally accredited for The National Accreditation Commission (NAC). The National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs offers early childhood leaders the opportunity to demonstrate and document quality performance using research-based criteria and evidence-based practices. The National Accreditation Commission provides a comprehensive, ongoing quality improvement system that recognizes the inherent diversity among programs through the self-study and award process. The mission of Educational First Steps (EFS) is to increase the availability of quality early childhood education for economically disadvantaged children. Since we are a part of this great program we have an opportunity to take our 4 and 5 years old on Field Trip.
